Jake was still keeping his framework, Weissritter, in a prone position as he waited for the other two Cruxi to poke any of their body parts around the corner of the other end of the corridor.

He only hoped the rest of his team was doing ok but he knew things were going to get ugly. If there was something Jake learned about the Cruxi, the "smart" ones always had a plan B.

Sure enough, he heard the distinct slam of a door closing and quickly glaned behind and noticed the way behind him closed.

"...Seven! Serah! Katya! Respond!"

It didn't happen immedately so Jake continued to keep an eye out for those Cruxi.

But it was that yell that immedately made Jake cringe. If he didn't know better, that was Serah.

"...hey Sit rep! What's going on in there?!", Jake asked.

"EEELLLOOORRRAAAA!"

That's when his link with his team went dead, hearing Mai scream.

"Base! Jake here! We got a situation! I've lost contact with the rest of my team! Are you still tracking their sync rates?! I need something to tell me what's going on with them!", Jake said, still keeping an eye out for those Cruxi that avoided his fire before.
